[mint umbra]

and I can use my macro keys to skip and play songs

[pale flint]

wdym

[mint umbra]

with the browswer I dont think I can use my macro pad to skip and play songs

[brave brook]

i though you find the 2TB expensive. And well, it's an NVMe drive, so M key.

or if you mean windows reinstall, Windows key is in BIOS of laptops for years

[pale flint]

its expensive because its 2230 nvme

[brave brook]

more expensive, but only by like 30% ?

[pale flint]

i mean usb install

[pale flint]

still a lot for me

[brave brook]

again, you just install the OS and it automatically activates, that is a thing for laptops for years. You actually have to do modifications of the USB drive if you want to select the edition of Windows on laptop

[pale flint]

oh

well

i have to login again

[pale flint]

shit, i forgot all the passwords

[pale flint]

can definetly see the price

[tired bear]

128

[pale flint]

is that 128

yeah

[mint umbra]

Might have to switch from youtube music

[pale flint]

ehhhhhh

im not really willing to spend so much on that

currently i have 30 gb free

as much as i remember i had 60 2 days ago

[tired bear]

lower capacity drives are avalibile, 1tb is 68$

[pale flint]

good

sounds fine

[tired bear]

its 57 at alza and alternate

[pale flint]

found another store that gives same ssd for 55 euros

found 1 for like 56

and its local store

[rigid fjord]

do not bother with this, look up sn740 instead, it's a much better drive at that size

[rigid fjord]

what you looking at dude?

damn

[rigid fjord]

yeah, the 8060s is closer to a 3060 in performance

[pale flint]

oh ok thanks

[rigid fjord]

a massive leap up from the gtx 1650 performance of the 780m from amd

[tidal geyser]

pro tip, check the pin type

[rigid fjord]

30 pin eDP vs 40 pin eDP

[iron glen]

y'all think this is an actual seller or will i get a 3d print with some wires in it
it has 160 reviews and 4.3 stars but idk

[rigid fjord]

i had to complain to a seller about sending me the wrong screen because of this

[tidal geyser]

this gtx 1650 laptop is such a pain

[rigid fjord]

tbh, don't trust reviews on merchant sites, look at reviews on forums/rtings.com

[jaunty apex]

Aren't even safe doing this.

[iron glen]

alr, ty

[rigid fjord]

my wallet is going to really hrut in the next 2 months

[jaunty apex]

Same pins on a Dell SATA interposer, MF still melted after I turned on my laptop

[iron glen]

renovating?

[rigid fjord]

the shed i've been doing up, plus sorting out an ender 3 neo

[rigid fjord]

never go by laptop model, use the part number on the screen instead

[tidal geyser]

i bought the display after buying the laptop online

[rigid fjord]

and even then, the same part number can exist for both 40 pin and 30 pin eDP screens

hence me complaining to a seller

[tidal geyser]

found out for sure it was 30 pin when it was already half way there

[rigid fjord]

can always get a 40 pin to 30 pin adapter

[tidal geyser]

no

[iron glen]

none on rtings and idk what forums to look on, eva suggested me the mouse but i can't find a seller that doesn't look weird

[pale flint]

120 for 1 tb?

bruh hell nah

[tidal geyser]

well yea tlc

[pale flint]

well its too much

that shop doesnt have 2230 as well

they have ram but its out of stock and its adata

and overpriced

[ebon marlin]

[rigid fjord]

there are other stores like i shown in the pic, you just have to search

[pale flint]

oh ok

[calm idol]

why so many nozzles gaddamn

[carmine yew]

cuz consumables, and multi-packs are way cheaper than singles

[cosmic stratus]

1 on 1 how to get windows home digital license

[carmine yew]

buy it

[tidal geyser]

unless you are doing something too abrasive going trough a nozzle is hard but yea if stuff is stuck in there as can happen its nice to be able to replace it

[cosmic stratus]

Don't have to

[tidal geyser]

ok so do not do it?

[cosmic stratus]

Just tell em you made hardware changes

[tidal geyser]

xd

[cosmic stratus]

Has worked every time

[tidal geyser]

no shit that means you already bough a windows key for that hardware

[cosmic stratus]

Idk I just set up my friends laptop with my own account

[tidal geyser]

laptop

[carmine yew]

or just watch LTT's video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJkRd9py5mA

[tidal geyser]

tell me a laptop that does not come with a windows key

[cosmic stratus]

Exactly

[carmine yew]

chromebook

[rigid fjord]

0.2mm,0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm,1.0mm for different materials/ print thicknesses

[tidal geyser]

cant even install windows on it

[gleaming rose]

tuxedo laptops

[cosmic stratus]

Lol yes you can

[gleaming rose]

you can

[cosmic stratus]

There is thing called flashing ufie with a few shell commands

[idle hound]

Anyone got any idea if and if so how I could make my apex pro tkl like this by getting customs keycaps, like which keys like this would fit? And would it make the same effect?

[cosmic stratus]

If you're on x86

And boom install any os you want

Thats how I un-ewasted my i3 8130u chrombook

[carmine yew]

that's a neat rgb setup, but most keyboard will absolutely not have that support level in the software

[tidal geyser]

i swear it was fully locked before but yea

[gleaming rose]

you can install WOA

[gleaming rose]

you have to unlock them, usually a hardware screw

[idle hound]

Aw, why tho? What makes it hard for mine to do

[cosmic stratus]

Whats that

[cosmic stratus]

This veries

[rigid fjord]

a ton of macro's for the lighting pattern and response timings

[cosmic stratus]

Sometimes disabling WP involves just removing the battery

[carmine yew]

to do that much customization you need a processor to actually process it and know how to do all that

[idle hound]

Yeah no I just meant the lighting, I could do with it being static lol, just the keycaps mainly and if it’s gonna look good

[tidal geyser]

welp my wallet is gonna hurt, need a new bat for the surfacebook and a screen for the asus labtob but gonna see how ali goes about it as i got the wrong kinda screen for it, meant for the same model but different connector lovely.

[carmine yew]

the keycaps and some of it? Sure, you could get some of that on most keyboards, but I have no clue where you'd find those keycaps

[idle hound]

I only meant the led in the keyboard, if it’s enough to do that if I get the right keys, even if it’s static

[carmine yew]

what

[idle hound]

Just wanted to be sure the keycaps will fit my keyboard

[carmine yew]

what

find the keycaps that look like that

and see if they match the switches on your keyboard

that's how you tell

If you don't know what that means? Stop trying to do custom keyboard stuff

[idle hound]

Yea? The problem is my keyboard has custom switches by SteelSeries, but idk about the shape u put it in

[carmine yew]

if they're custom switches, you're boned

[rigid fjord]

cobweb/spider web keycaps be cheap

[gleaming rose]

music room :3

[cosmic stratus]

What about ones with simple cracks for the design and not ones resembling a web

[rigid fjord]

the $30 ones match the tiktok vid @idle hound

[rigid fjord]

google that shit

[idle hound]

They use omnipoint 3.0 switches

[idle hound]

Ik, js gotta look for ones that fit this, checking the type of switch it’s for yk

[rigid fjord]

so basically cherry mx profile?

[cosmic stratus]

[idle hound]

That’s what it uses?

Important caveat: The LED on the switch housing protrudes differently than on traditional Cherry MX switches, so thicker keycaps may hit or rub against the housing.

[rigid fjord]

i be presuming that, just gotta pop a cap off and check

[carmine yew]

that's your answer, it'll probably work, but if you're unlucky they'll rub or get stuck

[idle hound]

Yeh it does I believe

[rigid fjord]

so the omnipoint are rebranded gaterons according to this post

[idle hound]

How can I avoid the rub or get stuck, also I think the spacebar and stuff with stabilizers may be a problem

[rigid fjord]

so yeah, cherry mx profile ones should work, you could always get some orings and stuff

[carmine yew]

try your luck, nobody's going to have that info

[idle hound]

Yeah ima js try it, it’s not expensive anyway

[rigid fjord]

https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/1ixv431/omnipoint_30_replacement_switches/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D5XJSMK5/ i prefer the design of these over those cobweb ones

the fun part

[gleaming rose]

https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-creators/proart/proart-studiobook-16-oled-h7604/
damn these look nice

[haughty schooner]

What does the Link 0 mean ?

crossfire ?

[tidal geyser]

im 50/50 if its worth going for the aliexpress battery for half the price of the ifixit one

[gleaming rose]

laptops are nice nowadays

to the point where I wouldn't be opposed to selling my PC for a nice 16:10 oled laptop

[tidal geyser]

i just got me a surfacebook 2 for 12$

got a nvidia dgpu

[gleaming rose]

meh fuck microsoft

[tidal geyser]

just pretty shit as the base battery does everything

and when it dies everything becomes shit to the point it was sold as for parts not working

[gleaming rose]

any laptop I get will have to run Linux

[iron glen]

buy a razer keyboard and uninstall synapse, the RGB stops working and does the patterns but the rest of the keyboard probably will too
atleast from my experience

[tidal geyser]

well it can

[gleaming rose]

some surfaces can

[tidal geyser]

i slapped lubuntu on my pro 3

[gleaming rose]

I would get a brand new/open box latest gen

and NOT a surface

because I've never liked a single surface I've touched

the Asus laptops look nice, like the pro-art series

[tidal geyser]

wat

what is wrong with em

[gleaming rose]

I just don't like em

[tidal geyser]

wha

[gleaming rose]

maybe they've changed

but I definitely won't buy a laptop with AI in the name

[tidal geyser]

so no zen 5

[azure topaz]

i mean id assume any x86 surface can, just with varying integrated device support

[tidal geyser]

even the face stuff can be used on linux

[gleaming rose]

zen 5 is fine

I'll accept that because the zen5 chips are good

I'm just not buying anything from Microsoft

[shy olive]

Guys is 500-600$ enough for a gaming pc?

[tidal geyser]

buy a used surface

[azure topaz]

yes

[gleaming rose]

the surfaces aren't even nice

[azure topaz]

what

[tidal geyser]

das what i make em for

[tidal geyser]

what

[azure topaz]

wdym the surfaces arent nice 😭 great screen and build quality

[tidal geyser]

unless you are talking about a go WTF

[gleaming rose]

weak hardware

[azure topaz]

?

[tidal geyser]

heh?

[azure topaz]

they have on generation hardware. its not a gaming laptop. 😭

[tidal geyser]

that too

its not meant for gaming

[shy olive]

Well my question is it? Like I know you can make them for 500-600 but are they atleast decent, can they run games like dark souls or Elden ring, TF2 or WoW?

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

its meant for drawing and youtube and like not anything that would even really need anything more powerful than a 10 year old igpu

[azure topaz]

i mean ig some surfaces have 1060s

[tidal geyser]

i made a 5 3600 and 6600 pc for 300

[tidal geyser]

the 15" of the surfacebook 2 has

[gleaming rose]

yes and I don't want that

[shy olive]

oh I see, so it about finding the parts then.

[tidal geyser]

i only got a 1050 2GB 🙁

[gleaming rose]

I don't want a snapdragon chip in a laptop 😭

[tidal geyser]

so do not get that one??

[shy olive]

Aren’t snapdragons for phones?

[tidal geyser]

rip

[azure topaz]

get the x86 one 😭

it is literally that simple 😭

[gleaming rose]

I don't see any new x86 ones?

[tidal geyser]

fun fact anything apple now a days is ARM

[shy olive]

I mean snapdragon would sound a cool Chip name, The dragon 6000 elite. Costs a liver

[gleaming rose]

I like that they have 5G

[calm idol]

makes more sense, thought it was only 0.2. couldve gotten one of those ruby tipped ones instead of a dozen brass ones

[tidal geyser]

why does it need to be a brand new one

[azure topaz]

theres 135u based surfaces im sure that is enough lol

[gleaming rose]

because I want a new laptop???

[tidal geyser]

o hey https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-pro-10-for-business/8v73d6qwrss1?icid=vsbhp_CNav_Surface_Pro10Biz

[tidal geyser]

oy i was doing dat

[tidal geyser]

why new, what is wrong with a used one

[tidal geyser]

you can also get one with a core ultra 7 and a oled screen

core ultra 200 too

sooo like uh they are making current gen x86 tablets

[mossy sparrow]

Hi, I've ordered the ATK VXE MAD R Major+ and I've read on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1lseumw/atkvxe_mad_r_major_firmware_update_causes_sudden/) that if you use another cable than the included ATK cable that you can get a connection issue with the receiver of the mouse. Can owners of the ATK VXE MAD R Major+ confirm this whether this is true or not?

[gleaming rose]

can people not want brand new electronics here 😭

[tidal geyser]

nothing new, all used

[gleaming rose]

I'm pretty sure Microsoft locks the bioses/bootloaders on the surfaces

[ebon marlin]

The Snapdragon chips are insane for great battery life

[rigid fjord]

ton of mods for an ender 3, and as such, going to be replacing a good chunk of what's on it, plus i wanted fresh nozzles, i may go from a standard hothead to a ceramic one

[azure topaz]

no way

[tidal geyser]

ehhhh

[tidal geyser]

i have lubuntu one one of mine

[azure topaz]

i literally have the option to disable secure boot and TPM in mine

[gleaming rose]

https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features

[azure topaz]

no reason to lock the boot loader but allow this

[gleaming rose]

maybe it's just drivers then

[ebon marlin]

32+ hours battery life on the snapdragon chip laptops

Arm chips barely consume any power so they're great for battery life

[tidal geyser]

wat

was it even doing anything

i think even apple aint doing 32hrs

[ebon marlin]

Eh Apple's chips are powerful the snapdragons are shit in terms of performance

[gleaming rose]

lack of proper Linux support is a massive dealbreaker for me

[rigid fjord]

standard ender 3 hotend vs ceramic hotend @calm idol

[tidal geyser]

i dono get a Surface Pro 9 and do the like 3 things to make it near perfect

anyways you probs have different needs anyways

[gleaming rose]

why are you so dead set on me getting a surface

[tidal geyser]

that is what im writing right now

[ebon marlin]

This is the more power hungry model by Asus Zenbook A14 with the Elite chip

[gleaming rose]

can I not just not get a surface jfc

[tidal geyser]

yes?

[gleaming rose]

I'll ask what to get somewhere else

or just do my own research ig

[tidal geyser]

it just started from you hating on surfaces then went to them only being ARM to then not ARM to then support for linux aka is a thing but ofc not meant for it

[south glacier]

windows virus protection just flagged part of FanControl as a trojan and i cant use it now,
specifically it said that Vigorf.A was a trojan, and when i looked it up its part of something that both openRGB and FanControl use to detect mobo fans, do yall know what's going on?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5545190/threats-detected-trojan-win32-vigorf-a

(sorry for text wall)

[rigid fjord]

#1027757333117415424

[gleaming rose]

yes because I didn't know that surfaces had changed + I don't want an arm laptop + I don't want a used or older generation laptop, especially just for driver support

[south glacier]

im not rlly asking how to fix this, more asking if its been noticed/reported on like the windows update ssd issue

[tidal geyser]

crowdstrike

[south glacier]

?

[tidal geyser]

well that is what is going on

they soft bricked a SHIT TON of windows even linux computers, so microsoft has now started locking down anything to do with the kernal well is trying

[south glacier]

apparently it was an update to windows security's virus definitions

[south glacier]

ok that do make sense

[tidal geyser]

in short just do not do anything

[serene pumice]

That means you don't even have to get your own charger.

Can just buy 1 together with 3 friends. & each on gets to use it, on a rotational day basis.

[tidal geyser]

just say its fine in the security thingy

[tidal geyser]

where da 32hrs

but 20hrs on media is nice

[serene pumice]

(Only ever works if you go outside ig)

[gleaming rose]

I'm just gonna do my own research

[serene pumice]

But why else would you want a laptop

[rancid solstice]

customers pc...

[ebon marlin]

This is the higher end model which comes with more power hungry stuff incl fan to eat up battery

[brave brook]

false positive, happens time to time, will be fixed in few days

[brave brook]

smoker ?

[rancid solstice]

idk

[tidal geyser]

that is a no

[rancid solstice]

i dont ask them

[tidal geyser]

you can smell a smoker from a mile away

[serene pumice]

This would never happened to https://www.almico.com/speedfan.php ✊🏻😔

[rancid solstice]

i just get given the pcs to repair

[brave brook]

you can smell it LOL

[tidal geyser]

do you have a nose?

[rancid solstice]

i dont wanna smell it to find out

[south glacier]

k

[south glacier]

holy 2002 website

[serene pumice]

[rancid solstice]

need a hazmat suit to do anything with that

[brave brook]

you can smell a smoker PC from meters away, just as you can smell a smoker from his clothing

[tidal geyser]

when working on it do you just have a nose clip?

[rancid solstice]

last thing i picked up before getting home so i didnt get a proper wiff of it

[tidal geyser]

got one sitting next to me at school

[rancid solstice]

but probably it is a smoker

[tidal geyser]

na

you would know if it was or not

[rough imp]

Saw this on a car today

[tidal geyser]

smokers stink like hell and anything that is close to them for a longer time even worse

[rough imp]

YUP

[serene pumice]

if it wörks

[tidal geyser]

wat

[rough imp]

I once got a laptop from ewaste that was owned by a smoker and I had to leave it out in the balcony for 4 months straight before the smell kinda went away

[tidal geyser]

i got a computer for a cheaper price used and WOW was it used by a smoker, took everything non electric out of it threw it in the shower with tons of soap and nope it still stunk

luckily not a lot of smokers here so only one i know for sure was used by one but some people are DISGUSTING

but those can just be cleaned easily enough

[steel umbra]

now imagine how much of the tar has gotten into their lungs

yummy

[tidal geyser]

welp im buying the surface battery from aliexpress

now do i risk getting one that claims to take WAY WAY too many months to come or one that only claims like 3 weeks

but 2x the shipping price

[serene pumice]

You guys don't have amazon?

[tidal geyser]

nau

also i would imagine its not in amazon Sweden anyways

guess im going for dis and hoping for the best speeds

wat da 1$ more

very nice

dat was da shit keyboard

[swift stream]

hardest tech question : 'Recommend one chromebook that is actually worth buying?'

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/those-who-mow-those-who-know-gif-6741124947321800836

[rose stream]

Well this is a much more technical explanation than I expected out of anyone tackling this topic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6GfHdS2yoQ

[rigid fjord]

no, you're missing an advantage here

[rose stream]

@ocean axle, did you know about this technical side of MC per chance?

[tidal geyser]

there we go, fully mech keyboard with a battery and wireless

10$ saved for freee

[ocean axle]

Yes, why?

[tidal geyser]

codes

ing

[knotty iris]

None chrome os honestly trash

[tidal geyser]

welp im now even more poor

[rose stream]

Curiosity, since I've always heard everyone's misconceptions before the technical explanations, even when I had some clue-in for everything else involved.

[tired bear]

You need to sell some pcs you have

[swift stream]

I seen people try and use their school chromebook as a gaming device (most districts disable linux) so they only have html

[tired bear]

Lmao

[rose stream]

Out of context, that sounds like disabling Chrome OS itself, since it's literally a custom Gentoo distro. So basically they got nothing but nonfunctional units. Lol.

[swift stream]

ChromeOS has a option in settings to disable opening files that run linux based systems

[rigid fjord]

note to self, when reducing your own stock , use half as much herbs

[ocean axle]

If you have some question about it that the video didn't answer, I can probably answer that, though I can't watch the video at the moment

[rose stream]

Yeah I know. Just that they generalize the statements, so it's funny when you think about it from how it's said, not how it actually works.

[swift stream]

how many 67 mason children do you guys have in this server that only want a computer for fortnite, roblox or valorant?

it feels more common in content creator servers

[rose stream]

Hard to say. We tend to get a revolving door of different kinds of people.

It's the same Dawid's server, at least back when the lockdowns were in effect that is.

[azure topaz]

this guy was in the dawid serveR?

[rose stream]

Not from what I can tell.

[azure topaz]

oh i see

just a point of comparison

[rose stream]

I'm just saying in general.

It's also rare to get anyone at all discussing Chromebooks to any in-depth capacity on the level of considering it as a purchase decision, let alone something to mod.

I'm still reminded of that one "raid" we had on Dawid's server where another server of Chromebook modders came in to try and give Dawid advice on how to properly install Windows on a Chromebook. Ngl, their goal was super pointless, but low-key funny.

[azure topaz]

💀 mhm

[rose stream]

The part that made it bad though was the general reaction of our active majority to the effort, since most of that "raid" was generally harmless.

Turned toxic quick and I ended up having to mute multiple offenders on both sides.

Though of course, that is mostly the general reception to just how bad those sort of netbooks are to begin with, so the reaction wasn't entirely unexpected.

[azure topaz]

chrome trash

[tidal geyser]

I am trying my best

But yeeeaaa I have way too many laptops now

[azure topaz]

no yopu should buy more it hink

[rose stream]

I would've forgiven them if the hardware was actually redeemable by design, but even then, those things are literal e-waste below mid-tier pricing and gets harder to justify going up for one that is even good at all.

Chromebooks by design are literally self sabotage on Alphabet's and Google's behalf, most especially even for the laptop manufacturers who have to both make and then try to sell them anywhere.

[tidal geyser]

Portal 2 on the free probook I only had to buy a fan for and slapp in a SSD

i5 8250u

[mental ferry]

Does anyone have recommendations for a portable SSD?

[timber lichen]

sandisk extreme v2 ones are good

[edgy holly]

I personally always play L4D2 when the hardware is cheap

Always run decently and is quite a lot of fun

[azure topaz]

both source, cloise enough

[tidal geyser]

Anything that can run on a 360 should be able to run well on here I would imagine

Even the speakers are decent on it

The camera makes it look so bad

It's a shitty 720p tn panel but I'd you look at it right irl it's pretty usable

[cosmic lance]

i hate this song with all my soul

[azure topaz]

oof 720p panel

[cosmic lance]

is that portal 2?

[azure topaz]

thats a band

popular for songs like verbatim and hayloft

[cosmic lance]

song band whatever, they are the same anyways

[azure topaz]

no theyre not

[jaunty apex]

Borderlands 2

[azure topaz]

borderlands 2

[jaunty apex]

If we are naming games that can run on a potato

[azure topaz]

bl2 can ruun on the psp

my bad the vita

[tidal geyser]

Yes it is portal 2

[tidal geyser]

50/50 if I wanna replace it or not before I sell

[azure topaz]

just dont mention the screen in the listing lol

not worth the effort of replacing an already working screen even if it was free imo

[tidal geyser]

Yeah

It's such a nice labtob do

[azure topaz]

i think i have one of the same ones above me

[crystal pond]

Has anyone stuffed a mini pc inside a 5090?

[azure topaz]

youve asked this before

[keen raptor]

Good idea!

[tidal geyser]

5090 no clue but they have a GPU

[crystal pond]

I have?

[azure topaz]

someone has

[cosmic lance]

what

[azure topaz]

how are we powering the 5090

youre also assuming that there is a large amount of empty space "inside" a 5090

there isnt or even kind of

[crystal pond]

Thought the cooler was way bigger than the actual hardware

[azure topaz]

so were just ditching the cooler? 😭

you cant not have the cooler installed

theres not enough space to cut it without hitting a heatpipe either

[rose stream]

Inside a 5090 you say?

So like... Just the card's board and cooler, but with actual mini pc hardware instead?

[crystal pond]

Lol I mean stick it in the cooler too. Even the fe version is 3x ish bigger

[tidal geyser]

No clue how well it comes out on the video but the sound ain't half bad as tends to be the case with top facing speakers

[azure topaz]

you cannot cut that cooler especially

theres no space to "stick it in the cooler"

theres fins and heatpipes and a vapor chamber there

[rose stream]

I've not seen anyone do that as of yet.

[abstract wigeon]

i love portal 😍

first actual proper game i ever played

[tidal geyser]

Doing mostly high settings and getting 40 fps on a 8th gen igpu

And that is also only battery power

[abstract wigeon]

:o

any difference on wall?

[tidal geyser]

Good question maybe I should try

Somehow not really

[jaunty apex]

Ngl if that guys talking about it Id kinda hope so lol

[rose stream]

So far, I've found it is. In fact, his explanations are even pretty reasonable.

[jaunty apex]

I just figure hed be one of the most knowledgeable just for the fact that he wrote the mod

[rose stream]

He even mentioned stuff discussed between him and other modders who do similar mods and such.

So this is information he got from them and his own experiences.

He even threw in details about development time, cost, and other factors.

He even pointed out a misconception about Bedrock having LODs, pointing out it actually doesn't.

ram is in wrong slots

[latent gull]

Does anyone know, on a handheld or laptop, does running higher capacity ram increase power usage, even if the higher capacity isn’t being used?

[azure topaz]

no, and besides, ram draws fractions of a watt

ddr5 at 1.7v i couldnt even get to 10w a stick

or maybe it was slightly over

[latent gull]

Yeah I figured it wouldn’t be enough to really change the power budget on a handheld, I was just curious

[azure topaz]

either way, jedec ram does not contribute to power draw lol

[ivory mountain]

no wonder my ssd was 1/5 gone

[ocean axle]

watched it now, video is correct. though it does focus on small vs very large, and leaves out any nuance that does exist at the lower level
they know these details, Cortex at least does, but TBF they aren't necessary to answer the headline question

[true adder]

Yo i want to upgrade my PC soon. what should I get (everything but case and gpu)? My budget is like 600 euros

[elder kelp]

Guys, I need help, so I am building a pc, but I am buying the components in prices of £80 or £160, Meaning for the cpu, there is no point going with a £120 cpu, It will be better to get a £160 iyk what I mean, if there is a component that is only like £30, then I won't go up in price unless it will benefit performance (exclude the GPU)

[ocean axle]

there are things that could be done to get massive gains in performance, those gains dont scale exponentially though to make really far distances possible

[rose stream]

Hmmm I suddenly remembered this. It was actually something I was thinking of long after watching the video, which had to do with hybrid lighting methods. Is it feasible to do a rendering setup in Minecraft that dynamically switches between fully raymarched lighting when out in the open for either dimensions, then switch to more standard baked lighting with only certain instances of rt lighting (like torches, lanterns, light blocks and whatnot) inside of enclosed spaces like caves and such or would you think that would be hassle for the devs to accomplish for no real gain?

[fallen sky]

Holy text

[ocean axle]

define "enclosed spaces"

in terms of blocks

and how they are placed

any other problem aside, its damn near impossible to properly define that

[rose stream]

Hmm...

[ocean axle]

FWIW on that one of my mods is a multiblock mod, that specifically is a problem ive tried to solve, and its hard to solve

[stark kiln]

First day of school done

[stark kiln]

Funny that I got 2 history classes in a row

[dusty mortar]

Lmao
I’m just good at color matching

[rose stream]

Is that mod available anywhere or was it just a personal project for yourself?
Most of your mod or client projects just seem interesting to me honestly.

[ocean axle]

that one is BiggerReactors

the main one im working on right now though is Cinnabar

[serene pumice]

Worked great back in the days at least.

[south glacier]

yea... it dont recognize my gpu and doesnt have a cpu package option lol, i dont even think it knows what windows 11 is

i hope they can find a fix for the fancontrol issue fast... im not gonna use it until they fix the trojan issue and by proxy, no mo pc

[serene pumice]

Well duh, Windows 11 released after the latest version on the devs website

[rose stream]

Hmmm I might try that one out, just to see how well it works on my setup.

[south glacier]

yup

realtek audio service, ignore it

[hidden hill]

trying to figure out why everything is consuming a lot of memory and making my pc loud af

[azure topaz]

looks like its for honor

yoru computer makes itself loud af

change your CPU fan curves

due to how modern ryzen cpus are, 95C is their temperature target, but most boards will max out cpu fan speed by that temp

so lower it manually

[serene pumice]

Why do you only have 8GB of RAM.

[azure topaz]

he clearly doesnt, its 16

[worthy dust]

That aint 16

Its more like 13

[azure topaz]

mf there is 8,192MB in 8GB

[worthy dust]

12*

[azure topaz]

for honor is using 8090MB

[worthy dust]

Maybe a 8 + 4

[azure topaz]

there is no 4GB DDR5 sticks

[serene pumice]

😌

[worthy dust]

How do you know itd ddr5?

[azure topaz]

because i know his computer

[hidden hill]

32

[azure topaz]

is only 16 detected?

[hidden hill]

this is why im confused

[azure topaz]

show task manager memory section

[worthy dust]

That explains a loy of things

[azure topaz]

why yo page file so big

also why do you have losseless scaling you have a good computer

[azure topaz]

are you on the OG install of windows for the prebuilt still? i dont remember

[hidden hill]

no

[azure topaz]

interesting

you arent running out so unless performance isnt as expected i wouldnt be concerned

[tired bear]

resource monitor provides much better insight into memory issues

[azure topaz]

yeah

[hidden hill]

one sec, let me finish this match and ill go to it

[serene pumice]

I used to put a pile of cloth over my PS2 to sound proof it

[hidden hill]

just made it hotter lol

[worthy dust]

Was ps2s that loud?

[idle spear]

What upgrades should I make to my thinkpad t430🙏

[serene pumice]

I wanted to sleep & was not at a Saving spot ig haha

[tired bear]

ssd

[serene pumice]

yeah, the fan ramped up after you did that, clearly needed to add more cloths to the pile.

[worthy dust]

Xbox was smart with the hdd but ig running out of memory was way worse than imagine

[idle spear]

Got one coming in the mail already

[rose stream]

Oh, minor question about Cinnabar: what mods will it not be compatible with per chance, particularly in terms of optimization?

[ocean axle]

Sodium, for one

[tired bear]

then ram and possibly newer wifi card

[worthy dust]

Get more ram if you need it and do thermal pads and paste

[rose stream]

Nothing surprising there. Lol.

[idle spear]

I’m looking at a 16 gb kit rn

[rose stream]

It's a vulkan mod, so I'm sure it won't work with anything involving OGL code discretely.

[idle spear]

I have a stick laying around to make it 8 gb just for a little bit until I can get the kit

[worthy dust]

If all you do is light gaming and browsing the web, its enough

[idle spear]

Yeah and I don’t even think the little dual core can handle past that

[hidden hill]

here is the monitor

[worthy dust]

Yra

[tired bear]

you can upgrade the cpu to a quad core

[idle spear]

You know wich one is best?

[rose stream]

Oh- It crashed. And it was the only mod installed too.

[azure topaz]

fabric?

[rose stream]

NeoForge, using RogueLogix vulkan mod Cinnabar.

[tired bear]

Core i7-3840QM is top of the line

[azure topaz]

and therefore the most exxpensive, get the middling ones

3720qm im sure is cheap

[worthy dust]

Too rare and overpriced

[hidden hill]

the bar is almost full and im in the main menu of the game, thats pretty bad right?

[azure topaz]

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/19/us/alaska-crabs-ocean-heat-climate

[idle spear]

It costs more than my desktops cpu😭🙏

[azure topaz]

wrong link but you guys deserve that

[worthy dust]

Didnt know for honor used 30gbs ig

[azure topaz]

20$ lol what a scam

[tired bear]

most get this

[idle spear]

It’s like $20

[azure topaz]

might just be a mem leak, does restarting the game fix it?

[azure topaz]

yeah thats an L

[hidden hill]

ill try

[ocean axle]

works on my machine

[azure topaz]

look at the title for full effect

[hidden hill]

but like i said the memory usage is insanely high in multiple games

[ocean axle]

also, thats launching MC 1.21.8, what version of Cinnabar do you have?

[azure topaz]

thats kinda normal... youre playing modern games

[idle spear]

I mean for a rare kind of cpu not all that bad

[worthy dust]

Are you sure that ur t430 can fo 16gb btw

[hidden hill]

its from 2017 lol

[worthy dust]

I never accounted that

[hidden hill]

its using a quarter of my vram

[azure topaz]

yeah its a ubisoft game from 2017 lol

expect any better? 😭

[idle spear]

Many with a new cpu lemme check

[azure topaz]

thats pretty bad considering you can get much newer desktop chips for that price

[hidden hill]

lol

[ocean axle]

_wait, that was for 1.21.8? i thought that was for 21.5 or .6...

[idle spear]

Ig compared to like real 3rd gen i7s

[azure topaz]

tarkov, rust, msfs would all do the same thing

[hidden hill]

its just weird that my pc is getting really loud

[azure topaz]

you can get an i5 7400 for that price

[ocean axle]

oh, so it is

[hidden hill]

wasnt doing that before

[azure topaz]

i explained that part already go back and fix it

download anything sketchy recently ig?

[hidden hill]

oh the fan curve

[azure topaz]

yeah 🫡

[ocean axle]

afaik, it does work in prod, try the vanilla launcher

[idle spear]

Somehow the i5 3320m it has right now can handle 32gbs

[hidden hill]

i looked at stuff for making a custom one, and its really complicated tbh

[rose stream]

Alright then.

[worthy dust]

Ok you are good then

[ocean axle]

though 0.0.6 and 0.0.7 have some major differences in them, sooooo

0.0.7 being a version that doesnt exactly exist, because reasons but when 0.0.8 is out it has all those changes too

[azure topaz]

just take a pic of where they are at the default profile, then go to custom, and drag the last two points down like to 80% fan speed (75-95c should be around 80)

[idle spear]

Sill going to upgrade to some sort of quad core tho

[ocean axle]

i rewrote, basically the entire thing

[hidden hill]

now in the main menu its a lot lower, could be memory leak

[idle spear]

Even though I’m going to use Linux I still want more cores

[worthy dust]

Better save up for another pc atp

[hidden hill]

as it doesnt get loud in other games, just high usage in other games

[hidden hill]

where would i go to even set the fan curve by default?

[worthy dust]

Bios

[hidden hill]

oh ok

[azure topaz]

bios, depends on board from there

if MSI, advanced mode, HW monitor or some shit

[hidden hill]

asus board

[idle spear]

I have a decent mid ranged pc I just want a laptop to take with me bc I spend like 1 week out of a month away from my house

[azure topaz]

usually its a bios hotkey, like F7 or similar

i think on asus it tells you how to enter qfan mode

[rose stream]

I haven't seen it yet, so maybe for me it's inaccessible.

[hidden hill]

ok ty!

[azure topaz]

look in the corners of your screen with a hotkey next to a fan icon

[rose stream]

Also, funny your mods are just on CurseForge only.

[worthy dust]

Oh ok max the cpu thrn

[ocean axle]

its not published on curseforge

[azure topaz]

looks like its f6 on this random screenshot i found

ignore the boxes idk what its for

[ocean axle]

the way you'd get a snapshot version of it is from my maven server, but thats down right now because reasons

[serene pumice]

Thank You Google AI! Now You know.

[azure topaz]

fuck you

i couldnt care less, and you obviously understood what i meant 👍

🤯

(the fuck you was purely a joke i dont hate you)

[ocean axle]

oh goody, my CI server is down to, so i cant grab one from there either...

[ocean axle]

wdym?

[idle spear]

I might put in a t420 keyboard in the t430 as well

[ocean axle]

why?

and why are you using either of those laptops?

[idle spear]

Linux

[azure topaz]

something something linux

[idle spear]

Red star os

[azure topaz]

you do know that the think pad isnt the only linux supported laptop

right?

[ocean axle]

i more mean why ones that old

[idle spear]

Ik it’s just so cheap

[hidden hill]

Don’t understand how to bring down the individual sections

[idle spear]

Bc it was $29

[hidden hill]

It just has presets

[ocean axle]

the t420 and t430 are ancient piles of shit now

[azure topaz]

you need to change it to manual shawty bae

[ocean axle]

and its worth even less

[azure topaz]

click the dot that says manual and drag the far right end of the curve down

[idle spear]

Not really they outperform like every single Chromebook at least

[azure topaz]

whatever the highest on the far right is will be your max fan speed

id just do 80% for now to see if that is good

[hidden hill]

I’m dumb

[azure topaz]

its okay we still love you

[hidden hill]

This work?

[idle spear]

I’m drolling at the idea of sticking a old keyboard in the new thinkpad🤤

I want to emulate GameCube games on jt so Frikin bad

[jaunty apex]

Why do you need a new keyboard for that

[rose stream]

Soooo there's just no way to get it then?

[ocean axle]

wanna build it yourself?

its also got a pretty bad bug right now, that i didnt catch because i rarely use it for that long

[rose stream]

Iiii do not have that kind of means unfortunately.

[ocean axle]

the only one thats open on it right now, https://github.com/RogueLogix/Cinnabar/issues/13

simple fix, just haven't yet

[rose stream]

Iiii'm just gonna test 0.0.6 instead.

[ocean axle]

fair enough

vanilla launch should™ work, but to a large extent its kinda just works on my machine

[serene pumice]

Wtf, half the enter-key is missing

[serene pumice]

Ahh, much better! ✊🏻😌

[rose stream]

Oh, well then, I just... Figured out what it was.

Doesn't work in GraalVM... Damn...

Ah- scratch that.

[azure topaz]

yhen they complain that their games run bad becayse wp engine is in the background

im kidding im sorry i dont mean to be mean

i used to run wp engine i just dont anymore cause oled and laziness

[random junco]

tbh wallpaper engine is dumb because youre not going to be admiring the wallpaper, its gonna be hidden behind multiple apps

only valid with multiple monitors and in a setup where aesthetics actually contribute

[idle spear]

i mean its just a cut down 2060 not that low end

[ebon marlin]

Still low end

[random junco]

plus whenever i launch a game i always pause it

might as well get a static offline replica

[random junco]

worst and cheapest rtx card btw

[idle spear]

low mid end to me i consider low end being on ddr3 with like a rx 470

[idle spear]

its better than a 3050 tho

by like 10%

[random junco]

i have an rtx 2070 super, probably low-mid tier

[random junco]

on par with 3060

[idle spear]

i honestly consider having rt cores making you mid tier (excluding rx 6400 and 6300)

[ebon marlin]

That's e-waste

[idle spear]

ewaste is still okay

as long as its playable

[azure topaz]

thats the problem, most new games wont run good or wont launch at all

[random junco]

something being bad doesnt make it ewaste

[azure topaz]

its ewaste, its not playable

[random junco]

waste infers its completely useless and doesnt deserve to even be in existence

[azure topaz]

most ddr3 platforms are exactly that

[idle spear]

ddr2 systems can still hold up around 30fps 720p

[azure topaz]

i cant even get away with 7400's in office use

[azure topaz]

DDR2 systems dont have instruction sets to launch games from 2017

go make a phenom run apex legends without POPCNT

(it wont)

[random junco]

ddr3 ram is widely used in servers and shi

[idle spear]

only making ddr2 sound better

apex mid

[azure topaz]

ddr3 ram is widely used in mom and pop servers

most big companies are ditching their xeon v4 platforms in droves, which is DDR4 based

[random junco]

ok no ddr2 is actually ewaste

[idle spear]

ehhh

depends

[azure topaz]

no it doesnt

we're under the assumption that if it can play modern games well, its not ewaste

[random junco]

unless you want a pc for the sole purpose of wasting electricity by spending money on the cheapest pc parts, its useless

[azure topaz]

^

[idle spear]

you can emulate you can play older aaa games tons of that stuff

[azure topaz]

yeah you can also do that on an xbox 360

but i get xbox 360s for free at the garbage can

[idle spear]

some people still play gta 5 with a xbox 360 so perfectlyfine

[azure topaz]

but if you pay anything for it, thats not fine

ewaste doesnt mean you shouldn't have it, but it does mean that you should pay a grand total of 0$ for it

[idle spear]

also alot of people in poor counrys cant get good stuff

[azure topaz]

then thats different, but even then, DDR3 is easily achievable in even like india or brazil

DDR2 is definitely out, DDR3 i could maybe see haswell or broadwell-e being usable

[idle spear]

yeah dont go out and buy a system with ddr2 unless its a great deal but if you have one it can still hold up

[random junco]

theyve got different standards, they know whats available and whats not. fortunately, people in higher class countries are aware of whats around and ddr2 is one of the last things they'll consider

[azure topaz]

a great deal on DDR2 is 0$

unless for OC purposes or similar, dont pay a literal dime for anything ddr2 😭

[random junco]

overclocking ddr2 new idea

[idle spear]

i mean playing on old ewaste is kinda fun tbh

[azure topaz]

yes it is but only if its for free/if you already have money to burn then why would you lsiten to me anyways

i play with every computer i encounter, i love fucking with em, i wouldnt pay for 9/10ths of the computers i interact with

[idle spear]

i mean $20 for a cpu motherboard and ram is pretty good no matter what

[azure topaz]

even better when it does the things you want

i mean web browsing LIGHT gaming mabye jus mabye some bo2

the last cpu gen i remember with d2 was a q6600? i think

first gen was just ddr3 i think

[idle spear]

hold up talking about bo2 jsut got me pissed of i went to the steam page to check the min reqirements why is this game still $60

[azure topaz]

Q2 8/9XXX was both

[azure topaz]

surprisingly it goes on sale occasionally now

so try to snipe it then

but agreed i hate activision

better deal to buy a xbox 360 with the game

is the 6750 xt still considered mid range even after its fsr updates reached its finale?

[random junco]

i'd say its mid-high ish because its still a great card

[swift stream]

still beats the real early 50 series in raw performance at least

and fluid motion frames have gotten better

[random junco]

50 series = shit + dlss

• more money

[swift stream]

how do i stop my games from running the game at max fps in menus tried chill and enhanced sync but still won't work

[azure topaz]

50 series is pretty good 😭

[swift stream]

the high end 50 series

[azure topaz]

what is high end

[swift stream]

my card ran 3000 frames in the entry menu of a game but immediatly shifted back to 60

tried rivastatistics but i have to keep it open at all times

[swift stream]

5080 and above

[azure topaz]

the 5070ti is very competitive though

and the 5070 now that it’s at 550 somewhat commonly

[swift stream]

is openrgb better than msi center?

[azure topaz]

yes

[neat dove]

well that was a weird, good thing a restart fixed it. anyone ran into windows 11 just not letting you click on shit on the desktop

[swift stream]

anyone wanna gift me wallpaper engine?

i spent my last 5 dollas on rivals 😞

find a wallpaper u like on wallpaper engine and just download the static version.

[somber pecan]

atp use lively wallpaper

[random junco]

a normal png / jpg

or that tbh

im just gonna download a picture and put it in photoshop

[random junco]

why photoshop

just keep it a normal PICTURE

no need to waste resources on something you cant see

[ivory mountain]

just download a jpg broseph

Can this B+M key card work on a M.2 NVME slot?

It's a LAN adapter

[random junco]

no

only if the notches match

which it doesnt

[hollow aurora]

It does

[random junco]

it might physically fit but doesnt get recognized

[cosmic stratus]

Ok all the comments in the new video complaining about LG monitor are ragebaiting tf out of me, it was already clearly stated they were given to winners and they showed before and after

[hollow aurora]

Linux kinda recognized it but it didn't work, looking at my network the card was at 10/100

[random junco]

i wouldnt use it anyways

unstable

[hollow aurora]

The full issue is: the onboard LAN chip on my mobo is cooked, sometimes it works, other times not, often only at 100/100, but that's after some reboots, power drain, physically disconnecting the cable

[random junco]

time for a new motherboard

[grizzled frost]

so get a PCIE lan card

[hollow aurora]

And the second part is: I'm using a vertical mount for my GPU 🤡

[grizzled frost]

unvertical mount your GPU

[hollow aurora]

So I can't use a PCI card

[grizzled frost]

or get an actual NVME to LAN card

[random junco]

aesthetic gpu showcase and broken motherboard

[hollow aurora]

Considered it, but it's 5x the price of this one

[grizzled frost]

this is a problem you have to spend money to fix, deal with it

[hollow aurora]

The motherboard isn't perfect either, sometimes my PC randomly soft reboots (not related to heavy tasks), or gets stuck when booting, probably doing memory training

[grizzled frost]

motherboard still under warranty?

[hollow aurora]

So either my PSU is also fucked up, or my rebranded counterfeit RAM lmao

[grizzled frost]

Very much sounds like a royally fucked motherboard

[hollow aurora]

Nope, but I'm reaching out to support anyway

[unique solstice]

should my phoenix 5070ti fans sound like a motor? Every time they turn on it sounds like theyre broken or smthing

[grizzled frost]

turn them down

[timber sun]

Part of the app I’ve been making, what y’all think?

App:
Auto finds “games” apps, media. Support backed up field too.

Inc a friends system, a store (need addons for store) and achievements using Exophase, steam and even custom switch achievements too

[plain cypress]

I feel like I am missing a description of what the app does

[timber sun]

It’s basicly kodi x playnite x Xbox one os.

It mange’s all your games app, media into one place 🙂

I’ve also inc achievements and a friends system too, ach inc some switch games

don't want to go gainward again

[random junco]

i personally would get zotac

saw that

[swift stream]

it was a blue yeti

[unique solstice]

for the looks or actual performance

i dont wanna suffer with the loud cheap fans again

and that is the sff version

[daring crystal]

Did you guys see the S26?

[random junco]

Hey kinda strange question. I built a server pc a while back but never really got around to using it for what I wanted. Its specs are prety solid dual Xeon E5-2697, 8x16gb 3600mhz ecc ddr4, supermicro motherboard, and it’s all in a prety nice fractal case (obviously not optimal for large server but fine if your not building a rack). I’m looking to sell it but really don’t know how to price it any advice?

[random junco]

literally one of the most upvoted comments in the post

[random junco]

keep it man

[grizzled frost]

E5-2697 doesn't support DDR4

[random junco]

i just built a small server a few days ago and im about to build an even better one. amount of things i can do is amazing

[grizzled frost]

E5-2697 V3/V4 does though

[naive adder]

v3

should of clarified mb

[empty quartz]

Im pretty sure this micro pc is faster

[random junco]

run media server and photo storage

[grizzled frost]

You're more likely to sell the parts individually

[random junco]

ive got over 10 of these mini pcs from lenovo and dell. i love em

[naive adder]

ive had it for a year and a half about now. Ran some stuff on it from time to time but never even utilized like 5% of it lol. Im in college and dont really think ill have time to do much with it over the nexst few years so im looking to sell it.

[empty quartz]

What socket?

[naive adder]

not particularly fast at single operations more made it for hosting multiple servers

[random junco]

lga1151

[empty quartz]

Mine is farrrrrrrr faster

Lga 1700

[random junco]

for a mini pc is greedy

[empty quartz]

It has a 13500t

[random junco]

photo storage or smth 💔

[empty quartz]

And it was fucking free🥶

[random junco]

what the hell do u need that for

[random junco]

this is sounding unfair.

[naive adder]

wasnt really planning on hosting huge servers on it to and was more aiming to host a bunch of smaller servers so core speed wasnt biggest concern at time

i mean to be fair to the e5-2697 v3 isnt to slow gets around 3.6ghz

[random junco]

my new server sometimes buffers when streaming movies on wifi but runs as smooth as butter on ethernet

time to run another ethernet cable across the entire house

I have a idea for a sleeper build

Get there ugliest parts and put it in a sleeper case

Like green motherboard green ram cheap looking gpu reused stock cooler

Red yellow extension cables

Could be so ugly🥺

curved or not curved monitor?

[grizzled frost]

[sharp lance]

Your giving me ideas

[swift stream]

what is going on with ios 26

why am i constantly having issues with 5G and completely disconnecting from my network sometimes

[placid belfry]

Lmao same

iOS 18 tho

Random freeze on 5g

[idle spear]

Listen to the demons

[sharp lance]

Im gonna use an amd cooler on an intel cpu

[placid belfry]

Christmas lights

[sharp lance]

I WILL make it work

[placid belfry]

[sly field]

[idle spear]

Better than intel stock cooler

[sly field]

i know what you are

[placid belfry]

He’s a man of focus

[placid belfry]

I once saw him kill a cpu with a pencil

[sly field]

what.

[placid belfry]

John liam

[ivory mountain]

i stabbed a 5600x for fun one time

but with a pencil that would be hard asf to do

[sly field]

the only things i've ever killed were a gpu by shorting it with a screwdriver and a hard drive by dropping it like a dummy

[distant frigate]

Lmaooo 7 GHz on a HFC network

[placid belfry]

Stab the pins = fatality

[distant frigate]

You need prestine coax to be able to make 7 GHz work on an Hybrid fiber coax plant tbh

[cobalt ridge]

Bro Ali express has the 7800x3d listed at 50 dollars should I cop

[carmine yew]

if you think it's real, do it

[cobalt ridge]

💯

Looks legit lol

Says it’s only sold in France

[wheat torrent]

Broken?

[azure topaz]

just a scam

[wheat torrent]

The only one to cop something is the seller

[cobalt ridge]

Bro I know it’s 99.99% chance of a scam but like I’m rich

[carmine yew]

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[hoary agate]

That’s certainly a fan

[carmine yew]

all steel rack fan?

[hoary agate]

I think they’re unbranded server or mining fans
Delta electronics also makes a nine amp one

[carmine yew]

140mm is an odd size for a server, but not odd for a rack

(to fit 140mm, it'd have to be 5u, iirc)

[hoary agate]

yeah, I think you’re right
I was just searching eBay for random stuff and then I came across this monstrosity of a fan

[stark oxide]

did i install the latest version?
the date says released aug 28 but the driver details shows 21'st
I have 5060 laptop

[placid belfry]

And I’m a billionaire

[placid belfry]

Bro is actually doing it 💀 💀 💀
